45 Lewis Dot and Bonding Chemistry LibreTextsLewis dot arrangement for ammonia is depicted by the
outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia unveils that the N atom unites one pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a complete of 3 united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form because of the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its
Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of NH3, the N atom is surrounded by three dots, each representing a pair of united electrons with a H atom.
